Search Results - Robin Hood

Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

Robin Hood is a hero in English folklore, a highly skilled archer and outlaw. In particular, he is known for "stealing from the rich and giving to the poor," assisted by a group of fellow outlaws known as his "Merry Men".[1] Robin and many of his men wore Lincoln green clothes.[2]

There are many songs and stories about him, starting in medieval times, and continuing through more modern literature, films, and television series. In the earliest sources Robin Hood is a commoner, but he was often later portrayed as an aristocrat, wrongfully dispossessed of his lands and made into an outlaw.

In popular culture, Robin Hood and his band of merry men are usually portrayed as living in Sherwood Forest, in Nottinghamshire. Much of the action in the early ballads takes place in Nottinghamshire, and the earliest known ballad shows the outlaws fighting in Sherwood Forest.[3] So does the very first recorded Robin Hood rhyme, four lines from the early 15th century, beginning "Robyn hode in scherewode stod."[4] However, the overall picture from the surviving early ballads and other early references[4] suggest that Robin Hood may have been based in the Barnsdale area of what is now South Yorkshire (which borders Nottinghamshire). Other traditions point to a variety of locations as Robin's "true" home both inside Yorkshire and elsewhere, with the abundance of places named for Robin causing further confusion.[5][6] A tradition dating back at least to the end of the 16th century gives his birthplace as Loxley, Sheffield in South Yorkshire, while the site of Robin Hood's Well in Yorkshire has been associated with Robin Hood at least since 1422.[7] His grave has been claimed to be at Kirklees Priory, Mirfield in West Yorkshire, as implied by the 18th-century version of Robin Hood's Death, and there is a headstone there of dubious authenticity.[8] The first clear reference to "rhymes of Robin Hood" is from the late 14th-century poem Piers Plowman, but the earliest surviving copies of the narrative ballads which tell his story have been dated to the 15th century or the first decade of the 16th century. In these early accounts Robin Hood's partisanship of the lower classes, his Marianism and associated special regard for women, his outstanding skill as an archer, his anti-clericalism, and his particular animus towards the Sheriff of Nottingham are already clear.[9] Little John, Much the Miller's Son and Will Scarlet (as Will "Scarlok" or "Scathelocke") all appear, although not yet Maid Marian or Friar Tuck. It is not certain what should be made of these latter two absences as it is known that Friar Tuck, for one, has been part of the legend since at least the later 15th century.[10] In popular culture Robin Hood is typically seen as a contemporary and supporter of the late 12th-century king Richard the Lionheart, Robin being driven to outlawry during the misrule of Richard's evil brother John while Richard was away at the Third Crusade. This view first gained currency in the 16th century, but it has very little scholarly support.[11] It is certainly not supported by the earliest ballads. The early compilation A Gest of Robyn Hode names the king as "Edward", and while it does show Robin Hood as accepting the king's pardon he later repudiates it and returns to the greenwood. The oldest surviving ballad, Robin Hood and the Monk gives even less support to the picture of Robin Hood as a partisan of the true king. The setting of the early ballads is usually attributed by scholars to either the 13th century or the 14th, although it is recognised they are not necessarily historically consistent.[12]

The early ballads are also quite clear on Robin Hood's social status he is a yeoman. While the precise meaning of this term changed over time, including free retainers of an aristocrat and small landholders, it always referred to commoners. The essence of it in the present context was "neither a knight nor a peasant or 'husbonde' but something in between".[13] We know that artisans (such as millers) were among those regarded as "yeomen" in the 14th century.[14] From the 16th century on there were attempts to elevate Robin Hood to the nobility and in two extremely influential plays Anthony Munday presented him at the very end of the 16th century as the Earl of Huntingdon, as he is still commonly presented in modern times.[15]

5. How to Make a Bow and Arrow
September 03, 2009

Modern-day Robin Hood wannabes or those who want to experience what it’s like to be a hunter in the wilds may feel that using modern archery sets may not have that “authentic” feel that they’re going for.

6. Rich Dad, Poor Dad - Lesson Four - The History of Taxes and the Power of Corporations
July 21, 2009

You know the story; Robin Hood took from the rich and gave to the poor! Some of the first taxes were enforced to finance wars; in Britain it was the fight against Napoleon from 1799 to 1816 and in America the civil war from 1861 to 1865. Income tax became permanent in England and the United States in 1874 and 1913 respectfully. The government gained acceptance of the majority by telling the poor and middle class that the taxes were to follow Robin Hood's philosophy of take from the rich, and give to the poor... Initially these taxes were imposed ONLY on the rich. But as the govern... (read more)

8. Three Major Developments in the History of Modern Safes
May 19, 2009

If you have ever seen a Robin Hood movie (animated or not), you may have noticed that when Robin robbed from the Sheriff of Nottingham, the gold was often kept in a wood box that was bound with iron straps. These were called strong boxes, and are the precursor to modern day safes. It seems rather obvious that a wood box has limited security potential, and offers almost no protection against fire, but it wasn't until the late 1700's that we started seeing serious efforts in what would become modern day safes. Let's take a look at three of the these developments. The first, and probably most ... (read more)

23. Truck Tonneau Covers - Do They Really Save On Gas?
September 06, 2008

With the gas prices seemingly out-of-control, many manufacturers and retailers are claiming that fitting a tonneau cover to your truck can save you money and that the cover can pay for itself in next to no time. But are such claims true? Does one type of cover increase MPG more than others? The answer to the first question is yes. The bed of a pickup is nothing but a very big bucket. When driving, air is swept over the hood and cab and flows down into the bed where it gets trapped by the tailgate. This creates drag, which means more fuel is needed to maintain the vehicle at any given spee... (read more)

25. Private Investigator Files: Jesse James, Studying the Legend
July 30, 2008

Perhaps the most famous and glamorized outlaw who ever lived, Jesse James has been known throughout history as a Robin Hood, robbing from the overly-rich railroad tycoons and freely giving to the poor. He is historical in theme and legend, but, what most people know is only the Hollywood story, and not the real Jesse James. His tales have been passed from generation to generation and are mythical in proportion and nearly apocryphal in their power to enthrall. So, let’s start with the most basic question: how did Jesse James start his life of killing? Jesse James joined the guerilla outfi... (read more)
